Gyuto Chef’s Knife, 8 inch Japanese Chef Knife 3 layers 9CR18MOV Clad Steel Japanese Kitchen Knife , Alloy Steel Gyuto Knife, Sushi Knife for Kitchen/Restaurant, Octagonal Handle, Gift Box

Stainless steel as the end product It is 440B modified steel containing 0 percent carbon. Chrome), and the "high end" description of the material and its performance attracted me. Using a digital scale, I weighed the whole knife at 7 ounces. On the kitchen scale, 200 grams equals one pound. On par with the average 8 inch kitchen knife, this knife has a good hefty weight. For guys with large hands the hefty weight is combined with a sharp blade, resulting in easy cutting. There is a slight difference in the design at the hilt (handle) between this knife and most other 8 inch kitchen knives. The blade of the knife begins half an inch after the handle can be seen in the image. As far as I can tell, this feature makes it easier for me to hold a knife properly since my thumb should rest on that part of the blade where it can offer A closer look at the hole where the blade is joined to the handle reveals a round hidden hilt. My best guess is that this is a full tang, which I can't tell from these pictures. In terms of measurement, the blade is 8 1/2 inches wide, whereas the steel part is 9 inches wide. No information on the material of the handle is given in the product description, but it looks like real wood (premium product without This is, if in fact, real hardwood, then that manufacturer has done a great job in finishing it so it is fine furniture grade. A synthetic handle feels smoother but doesn't stick as much as a smooth leather Its grain pattern suggests that this is real wood, based on the shape and feel of the handle. By this I mean I should not soak it in water and ruin it. It cut through a big navel orange in 1 stroke like a very sharp knife when compared to a 7 1/4 inch kitchen knife (Rancher's Reserve, probably German steel, very sharp) I have, which I had to use the "sawing" action to cut through. The Bible is the basis for my faith. This 8-inch gyuto knife (made in China) is recommended.

In a nutshell, The knife came in an impressive box and was very well protected during transportation. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my husband. Since using the knife, we keep it in our kitchen at all times Every evening, I use a knife to prepare dinner. As you cut, you can feel that it is made from genuine wood and it feels comfortable in your hand. When you're doing a fancy cut for presentation, it's easy to hold the wood handle at various angles thanks to the bevels. dimples on the blade make it less likely for starchy foods like potatoes to stick to it. The item is easy to clean and can be washed by hand It has a new permanent home in a slot in the draining rack since we use it several times a day and it is more convenient to keep it nearby.

To me, knives are essential for outdoor adventures and multipurpose, so I have never purchased expensive knives that are not multipurpose. Watching some of the outdoorscruise life videos on youtube and enjoying sushi and sashimi almost a day in a row, I decided I needed a tool that could shave cream The idea seemed a little strange to me, but what the heck, let's give it a try. It was fantastic to receive and receive the package in such good condition. Knives that come out of the box are beautiful. Imagining the blacksmith or bladesmith forging this works of art is all I could think of. It is as if it is sweat, tears, and smoke coming down infiltrating the very essence of the Usuki brand. The overall weight is excellent. In chopping like a Shinobi, I blow swords like a fluid motion as I swing them. At home, you should not attempt that. My overall opinion of this knife is excellent.

This is a very good knife. I use it every week when I do meal prep. You can cut things with razor sharpness. The blade of a knife can lose its sharpness if it is used for a long time. I don't think it stays super sharp for very Every time I use it, I hone it before I use it.

I was far beyond my initial expectation when ordering this knife. From the box, I immediately put the Gyuto to work to find out if the seller actually lived up to his promises. It turned out to be a lot sharper than I expected, and I was extremely pleased. Due to its professional quality, this knife is great for giving you precise cuts without quickly breaking the bank. As far as I am concerned, the Gyuto knife by this seller is an absolute thumbs up in my books and I recommend it to anyone considering purchasing.

I gave this as a gift to my brother, and the only complaint he had was that he thought I had spent hundreds of dollars on this beautiful, yet very affordable knife. For the price, you are getting an excellent.

This is not a very sharp edge. I'm disappointed by this. In the end, I'll have to get some 3000 to 8000 grit whet stones to touch it up.

But other than that, it feels great in the hand, and it looks great too. A long-term-serving employee We have yet to see how the project will perform in the long run. As for why it rusts, I have seen other reviews about how it rusts. . . Well it has carbon steel in it, so of course it is going to rust if you don't take care of it. . . Duh, I have not seen any rust Every time I use it I clean it, dry it and wipe it with Olive Oil.

This knife is really good, it would make a real solid gift to someone who loves to cook. As well as its design, it was very appealing to me. That little dent gives the knife some extra details that I like a lot. This knife is also sharper than anything I have ever used before. Use it at your own risk!.
